Dragonfly
A dragonfly that I made like 3 years ago and forgot to publish. It has a really high acceleration rate and basically impossible to stall. Its modeled after a blue dasher dragonfly. It has really long legs because at the time I couldn't figure out how to make the wings not hit the ground when taking off
When taking off throttle to 100% and pitch up immediately. Its hard to fly straight with this because of the lack of a vertical stabilizer so you might have to fly diagonally which takes skill. There is no yaw control but roll kind of acts like an inverse yaw when gliding. There are magnets on the ends of the legs so if you have inhuman skill you can try to pick something up or slightly easier try to land on the underside of the bridge.
Landing is difficult and if you land upside down or tilted try using pitch up and down with throttle off to self right.
Controls
Throttle - flying, keep this to max whenever you fly
Roll - Roll while flying, can also be used as yaw when gliding to turn around quickly
Pitch - Pitch up and down while flying, can be used to self right on ground
AG1 - magnets in feet.
Flying
Landing on the underside of the bridge
A real dragonfly I recorded which reminded me of this build.

@PPLLAANNEE What Da Birth
@Salah001XTripleVage no it can't
Can This Walk?
@Majakalona Its good habit fr
ok I don't think I can stop following people if they make cool stuff like this
Cool! Flies quite well. It seems not to work in low physics mode, but otherwise it is awesome.
Cool concept. I wonder how it will fly…
